Overview

  • The Red Sox recalled 21-year-old Roman Anthony from Triple-A Worcester to replace outfielder Wilyer Abreu, who was placed on the injured list with a left oblique strain.
  • Anthony made his major league debut on June 9 at Fenway Park, starting in right field and batting fifth against the Tampa Bay Rays.
  • He went 0-for-4 with one walk and delivered an RBI groundout in Boston’s 10-8 loss in 11 innings, extending the club’s struggles in extra-inning games.
  • In 58 Triple-A contests this season, Anthony slashed .288/.423/.491 with 10 home runs and 29 RBIs, capped by a 497-foot grand slam in his final minor-league appearance.
  • The call-up pairs Anthony with fellow top prospects Kristian Campbell and Marcelo Mayer in the lineup as Boston navigates injuries to Alex Bregman and Triston Casas.
